I begin with my findings in Byzantine Museum of my home town. Our Greek history is 100% "upgraded" in order to hide anything having to do with Germanic devastations over the ancient greek world, or any presence of Slav rule. About Ioannina the only "slav" recorded is the rule of Tomas Preljubovic from 1367->1384. However the plethora of Slavic (Serbian) toponyms retained even today after the many greekification efforts, shows that the Serbian presence in Epiros was much more than Preljubovic rule. Out of my own personal research, i found that the majority of Epirotic toponyms are found with identically the same name mostly in Krajina, then BiH and then Serbia. Such examples are the village Doliani (Doljani), Granica, etc.. To the extreme, Bizanj and Smokovo are *ONLY* found in croatia. Here is the Castle of Ioannina built or restored by Preljubovic: Here is an epigraph which indicates that Tomas was killing so many albs, that they gave him the name Albanian Killer: Here is a sign about Petrovica, another Serb toponynm, in Thesprotia region, near Ionion (south Adriatic)

This probably belongs to Greek forum. This text explains the Byzantine way of nutrition, and says that dinner was the most important meal of the day. Even today, we greeks keep this tradition, which is contrary to the Slav/Germanic way of nutrition which considers breakfast as the most important meal of the day.

This is really interesting Pyrro, the castle of Ioannina is well preserved.

Yes Novi, the turks continued to use it and maintain it till our days (1913) Novi, my wife has a series of 3 books "Istorija Sprskog Naroda" but never had time to read it.
Can you find any info about pre-1400 (back to 500AD) from your books?

Nice job Pirro,
The reason he was known as "Albanian Killer" is, in 1379 Albanian tribes tried to raid the city and they were smashed completely and what was left of those tribes were forced to retreat.

He he, Serbs had that reputation (albo killers) since antiquity.
Anyways, one question i have is about Ioannina the toponym itself. In greek we use it as neutral and plural (Ta Ioannina), so in singular it must be To Ioannino. However "To Ioannino" has no meaning at all.
The Greek name of the city was "Euroia" (which sounds and is and means 100% greek means good flow/existence of water). That leads me to think that if i serbify Ioannina i get "Jovanina" or "Ivanina" which makes perfect sense. A city belonging to some "Jovana"....
